Silicone Molds for Homemade Soap

Just take a look at the lovely, crisp lines of the soap loaf and of each soap bar:

I love the ease with which the homemade soap released after less than 24 hours! The silicone mold requires no lining and no releasing agent of any kind. I just poured the soap into the molds at a light/med trace, swirled the tops and that was it. 18 hours later: out it came!

Clean-up will consist of a soak in warm water, a quick rinse-off followed by air drying. Perhaps lining the molds for your handmade soap is no big deal in your day, but it was a constant source of stress for me. (Perhaps it's my impatient tendancies?) I am so happy to not have to do it anymore that I will definitely be investing in more of these!

This natural homemade soap is scented with pure essential oils & spices -no colorant whatsoever. (I believe most of the color came from the 5x orange EO.) With a blend of citrus & spice oils, it smells of fresh ruby red grapefruit Richly superfattedwith shea butter, mango butter & cocoa butter, it should prove to be a very moisturizing soap bar!

That's a beautiful soap, Becky, and it sounds it will be a wonderful soap to use. Those moulds are fantastic! I hate lining my moulds and always get wrinkly sides and wrinkly bottoms. These look perfect. Gorgeous xx

Thanks Miss P, I can't wait to try this one. I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates lining molds -grrr. This is the only way I have ever gotten the smooth soaps that everyone else seems to get with no problem -but I do love the results! ;) ~Becky

Thanks Jen! I'm cracking up about the photos, though...does anyone else take photos with clutter & mayhem just outside the shot as I seem to do? LOL! I guess it's all o.k. as long as I can crop, crop, crop! :D ~Becky

p.s. not-so-patiently waiting for more pics and detail of the new NM studio/shop! :)

Thanks Michelle, Isn't it funny how soaps sometimes turn out so much better when you're not working so hard at it?? I was so relaxed when I made this batch -not having to line these molds is so freeing! I can't recommend them highly enough. :) ~Becky

Thanks Amy, It really has felt like a splurge -but I do love them. You must do a grapefruit for Spring -if I know you, could even make it LOOK like grapefruit you clever girl. ;) (My Mother-in-law still had the Almost Paradise & Watermelon Soaps I ordered from you ages ago...they're on display in her bathroom!)They're so pretty she can't bear to open them & use 'em. ~Becky
